This is going to be a slow road , wont get started for six months .
picked up the 3500 , a clean engine . Will mount Transverse .
Anyone got any Info on Drive Mechanism / Flywheel requirements .
The generall ida is to throw a belt drive back to say a Laycock de normanville overdrive unit , for transmission .
My concern is I dont want the blankety flywheel up on the Crank . Also its gotta fit in , be narrow , and LIGHT .
Frame at this stage ? Looking at maybe Featherbed Wideline Copy in 1/8 or 3 mm wall tubeing .Unless I go
radical and do a Hossack / Britten Wish -Bone Mounted Girder layout .Though wouldnt look the same .
Idealy itd look Road Going Manx ish , with vrything tucked up in , and Tidy .
Obviously any Technical obsevations / suggestions as to a Two Bit ( Loot will be extremely limited) power transmission
that will give durability ( through simplicity , the ' good old ' addage ) will be grist for the Mill .
All Indirect Trans to reverse rotation could also be applicable , Need 3 to 5 speeds . Will be S/C spec.
Thanks in advance . And NO Laughing :lol: Thanks !
